The beginning of the end?

My husband told me that as I didn't make a post yesterday that it signals the beginning of the end. However, I believe I was just too busy with 90 odd girls calling me (ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am) to show them how to do simple calcualtions in queries, after I'd done a few with the whole class. Also I noticed they might get the calculations correct but they forget the query part.
Today I have to show them how to do calculated fields in a report. I think they are going to get confused and try to do the calculations in a label rather than a textbox. I wish they could just remember simple things like the difference between a label and a textbox.
I'm auditioning to be a teaching assistant at the belly dance studio. The interview/audition is on Saturday morning and I have to write an essay on why I want the position and then I have to perform a choreography of my own. There are only 2 of us auditioning and the other girl has been dancing a lot longer than me and has been the assistant teacher up till now. I plan of just having fun. It doesn't matter if I don't get it, at least I've been able to perform my own choreography in front of Janka and I'll be able to get her opinion and feedback on it before I have to perform it on the 7th of March.
I'm feeling really tired after troupe practise last night. Eventually I'll get fitter and not be so dead the next day. I really wish I could go back to bed right now. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through today. I teach till 2:10 then I dash off to the university for my introduction to Access 2007 lecture (which lasts 2 -3 hours) and then I have to dash back to school for a parent teacher evening. Parent teacher evenings are every teachers' worst obligation. My first one ever I was constantly busy and as the last to leave. I didn't cry though. I was very friendly and diplomatic. My second one I had hardly anyone seeing me and I got bored and cold. Tonight shoudl hopefully proove boring, but seen as how the parents invited are matric parents only, they might suddenly have a renewed interest in their daughter's education.
The bell has gone so I'm about to get my first class of the day.
